1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Does anyone have pictures of a 2000-2002 tundra with just the steel bumper removed? Need to do some comparing before I order all these parts for a swap and I cant seem to find any pictures of one

 

Well. 2020 is going down as a horrible year. My little buddy (my cat) isnt doing to hot. I just got to the emergency vet and dropped him off, hard timing breathing, really hard time breathing. It sucks watching this.

 

@empty_lord shit man that's terrible. Hope he comes out okay.

 

We just had to put him down. His lungs were filled almost to the brim. He probably had 10 minutes left to live. This sucks.

 

Was a great 15 years with this little guy. I’ll miss him and his late night greetings.

 

Sorry to hear man. That’s sucks

 

It’s the sad fact of life. All you can do is give them the best life possible

 

sorry for your loss Dan. Tuxedo cats are the best, I have one that looks just like your friend

 

Man that sucks. I love both dogs and cats, but I don't understand people that don't like cats. I suspect they never had a cat who picked them as their person. We have a cat that we fostered from a shelter, then decided to keep. She decided I was her person and for the past 8 years, though she likes everyone in the family, she constantly waffles between showering me with affection and demanding my attention. She's about 12-13 now and I dread the day you just had....sorry man.

 

I had a Tuxedo for about 10 years. Was just watching her for my bosses girlfriend for a month or two.....
When I moved from FL, she meowed all the way to & through GA until I finally let her out of the carrier. She spent the next two days under the seat of the Ryder, but at least silently. Always hung with me - but always at the far end of the couch, other side of the bed... Always let me know she was the boss - LOL. Cats are just their own thing. But at least when they love you, you know you've earned it.
Sorry for your loss Dan.

 

yea it sucks. it sucks alot. now all thats left is the little blind and deaf helen. she hasnt noticed hes gone. dont know if she ever will

 

Drifter(greyish) passed in her sleep 2 yrs ago and OC(blk&wh) had to be put to sleep this past Dec. Took her to vet and he took her to the back and then brought her back up to me. I then proceeded home to bury her next to drifter in back yard. Hardest freakin thing this ole man has ever done besides burying drifter also. Our girls were everything to us

 

They’re truely apart of the family. Cody the cat was with us since he was 6 weeks old. He’s getting a private cremation and joining the cat and 2 dogs I had as a kid, he was the last of my Childhood pets.

 

Do these silicone hoses have any advantages other than looking cool?

 

Less prone to drying out. But you can’t use them where oil or fuel will be in contact with them.


Is that a kit or something? I kinda like the idea of silicon. (Viton would be superior though..)

 

Not a kit but made by HPS performance.

Actually it is a kit...

 

I'm not a cat person at all. I've been hunting ferals since I moved to the trailerhood. But I feel for people who lose them as a pet. It sucks to lose a friend like that.

 

Spotted an interesting regular cab today.

 

Was going to comment how full the highway is considering... then I recalled driving through TN in 2001 & how full the highways were back then. Guess the highways actually pretty empty all said.
That guys on his way back from an install? Shame to see an empty work truck.

 

Anyone know what LED bulbs I need for the HVAC controls on my truck?

 

Finished first water change, dumped 60% to dilute what seems to be tannins from the dirt. Observed the plants closely and spotted new growth everywhere. This is getting exciting, on my last attempts of keeping aquarium plants I was happy if they survived. Dirt makes a serious difference.

 

Check the info dump thread. There is a chart.

 

Got it!

 

Need to figure out what to do with the seat belts in the tundra. Do I send them out and get them redone or do I DIY the webbing replacement.



and do I do all black belt or black belt with. Thin red stripe on each side. Or even a thin grey stripe(Probably just do black)

 

shiny new black belts sitting in dusty boxes on back of dealers shelf on clearance w/ employee discount? I vote that route.

 

black belts dont exist. it would be sending the belts out and having the webbing replaced. i have to find the black plastic bits. but that should be easy with other toyotas

 

Ah. Had so many dark belts in so many Saabs over the years, never considered the Toyotas didn't.

 

first gen tundras didnt. i may pull the belts out of my corolla and see if they will fit because if they will i'd just order those. but doubt. it

 

If you had a molle rack in your truck, what would you hang from it? So far I've only added a first aid kit. My wife got it for me and I've not really had a plan for it.

 

In our 4runner we have one in the side far back window. I used to strap my snatch strap on there(it’s now in the truck) but I also have a first aid kit strapped on, one of the military hook and loop quick disco ones. I have a little camping candle lantern chingaso in a smaller military hook/loop enclosure. One of those dog poop bag dispensers on a carabeaner. And my air hose to hook up to on board air. The rear area of the runner has other cubbies and nooks that hold road flares, inflation chucks and other noise making rattlers. A flashlight might be next, or maybe a pouch to tidy up some of the cubbies. I would NEVER mount a blade or a hatchet up there, leave that to the InstaBros, Darwin will meet them soon enough.
I would just look at what you need or how much you use it, and if it’s feasible to mount it on the mole panel
